If such components are included, the SOFTWARE features described below are enabled by default to connect via the internet to Microsoft computer systems automatically, without separate notice to you. You consent to the operation of these features, unless you choose to switch them off or not use them. Microsoft does not use these features to collect any information that will be used to identify you or contact you. For more information about these features, please see the privacy statement at HME does not currently use these SOFTWARE features but reserves the right for their use in future renderings of this DEVICE. Web Content Features. Under the SOFTWARE s default configuration, if you are connected to the Internet, several features of the SOFTWARE are enabled by default to retrieve content from Microsoft computer systems and display it to you. When you activate such a feature, it uses standard Internet protocols, which transmit the type of operating system, browser and language code of your DEVICE to the Microsoft computer system so that the content can be viewed properly from your DEVICE. These features only operate when you activate them, and you may choose to switch them off or not use them. Examples of these features include Windows Catalog, Search Assistant, and the Headlines and Search features of Help and Support Center. Digital Certificates. The SOFTWARE uses digital certificates based on the x.509 standard. These digital certificates confirm the identity of Internet users sending x.509 standard encrypted information. The SOFTWARE retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation lists. These security features operate only when you use the Internet. Auto Root Update. The Auto Root Update feature updates the list of trusted certificate authorities. You can switch off the Auto Root Update feature. Windows Media Player. Some features of Windows Media Player automatically contact Microsoft computer systems if you use Windows Media Player or specific features of it; features that (A) check for new codecs if your DEVICE does not have the correct ones for content you attempt to play (this feature may be switched off), and (B) check for new versions of Windows Media Player (this feature will operate only when you are using Windows Media Player). Windows Media Digital Rights Management. Content providers are using the digital rights management technology for Windows Media contained in this SOFTWARE ( WM-DRM ) to protect the integrity of their content ( Secure Content ) so that their intellectual property, including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of this SOFTWARE and third party applications such as media players use WM-DRM to play Secure Content ( WM-DRM Software ). If the WM-DRM Software s security has been compromised, owners of Secure Content ( Secure Content Owners ) may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software s right to copy, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter the WM-DRM Software s ability to play unprotected content. A list of revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your DEVICE whenever you download a license of Secure Content from the Internet. Microsoft may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists onto your DEVICE on behalf of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM components in this SOFTWARE ( WM-DRM Upgrades ) before accessing their content. When you attempt to play such content, WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM Software built by third parties may do the same. If you decline the upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the Internet, such as acquiring new licenses and/or performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off. When these features are switched off, you will still be able to play Secure Content if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your DEVICE.

10 CHAPTER 1 DASH VERSION 1.0* OVERVIEW The DASH system enhances your System 30 Timer with a new Dashboard (the display of drive-thru data on the monitor) in various formats such as total and average times, graphs of service trends, and an animated display of actual cars in the drive-thru lane at any time. It stores the data and uses it to generate summary reports. The reports show trends in service times to provide you with a measurement of efficiency in drivethru customer service. You can set up the system to generate the reports automatically or on demand, or to transfer the data to a computer. 400G640 Rev A, 9/14/ HM Electronics, Inc.

11 DASH EQUIPMENT Your basic DASH equipment includes a Control Unit and a Monitor, which interface with the System 30 Timer Base Station (SYS30) that was already installed in your store. System 30 Timer Base Station (SYS30) The DASH system is designed to communicate with your previously installed HME SYS30, which provides lane detection data to the DASH Control Unit. Control Unit The Control Unit receives and processes data from drive-thru lane event times sent to it by the SYS30. It updates the dashboard information and displays it on the Monitor. The Control Unit stores your settings and manages a database of raw car data that it uses to generate scheduled and on-demand reports. Monitor The Monitor is the primary drive-thru data display for your DASH system. The lane information display on the Monitor is known as the Dashboard. Other displays on the Monitor are for viewing reports, viewing and editing settings and performing diagnostics. Your DASH system may have one or more Monitors. Back-Office PC (not supplied) You can access the DASH screens on your Back-Office PC if your system has been configured to work with your Network. You can also use the Back- Office PC to print various reports. 2

12 IMPORTANT DASH TERMS The following DASH terms are important for you to understand. Cars in Lane The number of cars that have arrived at the first ON detection point in your drive-thru lane, but have not yet left the last ON detection point of that lane. Dashboard The main display on your DASH monitor, where you see up-to-date information about drive-thru activity. Daypart A time period representing some part of your store s day, between its opening and closing times. You can set up to 12 time periods, or Dayparts per day. Each Daypart automatically ends when the next Daypart begins. They cannot overlap. The last daypart ends when the store closes. Some Daypart examples are: breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, mid-afternoon, dinner, evening and late-night hours. Detection Point Generally, a location in your drive-thru lane where a vehicle s presence is measured. Typical detection points are at the Menu Board, Cashier Window and Service Window. A detection point can also be located outside the lane. Detection points of this type are called independent detectors, because they exist independently of the lane. An example is the Wait Area, where cars are parked while they await their order. Detection Time The time from a vehicle s arrival at a specific detection point until its departure from that point. Event Time The time associated with lane events, including queue time, Total or OTD time, detection time and greet time. 3

13 Goals Ideal service times that you can set as objectives for measurement of efficiency in drive-thru service. For example, you can set goals for Service, Menu, Greet or Total times. Greet Time The time from a vehicle s arrival at the Menu Board detection point until the order taker begins speaking to the customer. Lane Any drive-thru lane. Lane Event Any drive-thru event or series of events in which time is measured at detection points. A lane event can be measured by lane, queue time, total time, detection time or greet time. OTD Time (Same as Total Time) The time from a vehicle s arrival at, or departure from, the lane s first ON detection point until that vehicle s arrival at, or departure from, the lane s last ON detection point. Pullin A vehicle that entered the drive-thru lane after the first ON detection point, and exited through the last ON detection point. Pullout A vehicle that entered the drive-thru lane through the first ON detection point, but exited the lane before the last ON detection point. Queue Time The time from a vehicle s departure from any ON detection point until its arrival at the next ON detection point. Raw Car Data Car times automatically stored in the system every time a vehicle leaves the last ON detection point. Raw car data is collected over a period of time, and is used by the system to compile reports. 4

14 Repeat The time, in seconds, between repeating alert tones that you can set for any Daypart goal. Reports Presentations of data stored by your DASH system, showing drive-thru activity or inactivity during selected time periods, times exceeding goals or comparison of selected time periods, etc., and the settings you have made. You can obtain reports on demand or schedule them in advance to be generated automatically. Service Goals A time limit that a vehicle should not exceed for a given lane event. Service goals can be applied to any lane event, such as the time a car spends at a detection point, the total time in the lane, etc. Shifts Typical scheduled work hours for your store s crews. Up to 3 shifts can be set in a 24-hour period representing a day between opening and closing times. Shifts can overlap, for example: Shift 1 could be from 6 AM to 2 PM and Shift 2 could be from 11 AM to 7 PM. A shift can also go past midnight, overlapping two days. Single Lanes or Dual Lanes The type of drive-thru lane(s) at your store; either with one lane (single) or two separate lanes (dual). Store Hours Your store s opening and closing times for each day of the week. Store hours for any two days can not overlap. There can be only one store opening time for each day of the week. Store hours can span midnight. For 24-hour stores, the store open and close times are the same. Total Time (Same as OTD Time) The time from a vehicle s arrival at, or departure from, the lane s first ON detection point until that vehicle s arrival at, or departure from, the lane s last ON detection point. 5

15 DRIVE-THRU LAYOUT Look at the following lane layouts to see which most closely matches your store s drive-thru layout. In these illustrations, you can see lists of possible event names that you can use for each detection point, such as Arrival, Menu, Booth, etc. A single-lane drive-thru (Layout 1) can have up to six detection points. A dual-lane drive-thru (Layout 2) can have up to three detection points per lane. Layout 1: Typical single-lane drive-thru store layout 6

16 Layout 2: Typical dual-lane drive-thru store layout 7
